Working from home isn’t so bad sometimes. This is my set up. Since then I put up a tiny desk on the right for my other laptop so it’s not so crowded. I like online townhalls where I can crochet while listening. I like being able to freely watch shows while working hard on something. Bust most of all, no travels and no needing to look presentable.

The only downside is working even more than usual and at very late hours. This was taken around right before midnight on Thursday trying to ensure our scripts go through correctly. Rocky dropped off a hard boiled egg for me courtesy of Mum since I hadn’t eaten.

Speaking of food, my go-to no-cook meal is canned tuna mixed with mayo, relish and caynne pepper. I then wrap that all up with seaweed. Sounds weird but it’s so good.

Many already know I’ve been coughing a log since last Sunday. Not sure why but have been chugging a lot of teas with random things mixed in or lemon water with different things mixed in. It doesn’t seem to be working but we are doubting it’s Coronavirus.

Not leaving the house has not been so hard. I get to enjoy all the things I love like crocheting and playing guitar. My audience loves listening to the free concerts I give out. It also helps having calls, video chats and continuous texts with family, friends and coworkers.

Being home made me see how bored the pups are. Rizzo sleeps all day and only moves when I do. I’m sure he moves more when I’m not around but I figured I’d get him some things to do. I got him a big-for-him slice of antler to chew on when he’s bored and once in a while I’ll treat him to a bully stick or tendon stick. He loves them all. Don’t worry, Rocky gets them as well.

I hope you are having a great quarantine time as well!

Meet my coworkers of the week. One watches my every move while the other sleeps on the job.

Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve eaten less as well. I don’t feel hungry like I usually do so sometimes my two meals a day become one. No complaints since I’m sure it has to do with not moving as much.

Today’s thunder got my sleepy coworker all up in my business. He doesn’t understand boundaries at all.

It was my day off but had to get some things done. This means working less next Friday, right?

Mallory and I made an executive decision for me to go over. It’s been a VERY long time since I’ve seen her. I came in right as they were putting banana nut muffins in the oven. They were delicious!

Beth came over as well for me to give her her belated birthday present. We sat and watched five minutes into Frozen 2 before JJ wanted to watch something else. We had the bubbliest wine ever made and chilled for a bit before I went back home.

June and I have been craving sweets and when I saw that Tiff’s Treats was having only a $5 delivery, I jumped the gun and got some.

June decided to get the both of us Tandoori Grill. Mum didn’t want any. We ate a few bites and put the rest away for tomorrow. I’m so excited for papadum and channa masala. Easily my favourite go to now. Don’t worry, I still like my usuals though.

I spent some cuddle time with Rizzo. He’s the worst when it comes to taking pictures. But he’s the best movie and television marathon partner ever. I’ve been trying to get out in the sun more and so I’ve taken him on super short walks a couple of times this week. He’s going to get horrible separation anxiety, more than he already has after this quarantine.

Ashy and I haven’t seen one another since the day Scruffy and I broke up. We’ve had a handful of pleasantries by texts throughout the year+ and finally made plans for him to stop by since he wanted to give Mum some succulents.

I had the lovely pleasure of finally meeting Maggie the Beagle. She is a little bigger than Rizzo and they got along pretty well. No growls, all love from Rizzo which is a first and with his tail wagging non-stop. I guess he missed Ashy.

We both held each other’s dogs for the hour or so conversation we had catching up about each other’s lives. It was nice to see how happy he is which was all I ever wanted for him.

When we finished our conversation, he started taking out all the plants and succulents he brought Mum. She was in love with it all. My favourite was the red cactus.

These plants brought back up our usual talk of opening up our own wedding business, 50/50, which he was still down for. Wishing it was true but also afraid to since he said I’d have to bring the business and, let’s be real, I have no friends or connections.

Rizzo loved sniffing Maggie’s butt and followed her around our backyard while Ashy and Mum walked around her garden. When I look at Maggie, all I see is Daisy, but with much fresher breath.

We bid our farewells and I continued watching Bitten, a show I started last night and am already on season 3 because I’m crazy like that. I also got to video chat with Emmy and her favourite word right now is booty in Chinese. She said “Goodbye, booty!” in Chinese as she ended our conversation. How lovely.

I made a lovely baked salmon dinner with ALL the veggies roasted nicely tonight. And I mean all, broccoli, asparagus, zuchinnis, carrots and cherry tomatoes. If you know me, this is my favourite go to dinner to make and eat and have never gotten tired of it. And with the quarantine coming, I’m going to need to search for more salmon!
